Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The probability of rolling a 2 on a fair die is 1/6.
The probability of rolling three 2's in a row is (1/6) x (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/216.
Therefore, the probability of rolling all 2's in three rolls is 0.005 or 0.5%.
The probability of rolling three 2's in a row is (1/6) x (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/216.
Therefore, the probability of rolling all 2's in three rolls is 0.005 or 0.5%.
